The Bancroft Library bookplates, 1880 and 1963.

As Henry L. Oak prepared the library for shelving in its new library building, he carefully book-
plated the entire collection to reflect its arrangement by document type and subject. In 1963, The
Bancroft Library returned to the style of these original bookplates, a style which also reflects the
silver plate now gracing the library’s gallery entrance--that once welcomed visitors to the Valencia
Street library.
